About Laurence
Laurence Brown has practiced law in Pennsylvania for decades. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1971 and completed his law degree at Villanova University School of Law in 1975. Those academic steps set the stage for a long career in private practice and professional involvement beyond the courtroom.
After law school, Brown entered private practice and rose to partner at Brookman, Rosenberg, Brown & Sandler. He has been part of that firm’s leadership team, working alongside colleagues to handle a range of matters that arise in state courts. His work has kept him rooted in Pennsylvania law and the everyday challenges attorneys face in litigation and counsel work.
Brown’s practice has intersected with public and professional service. He serves as Director of the National District Lawyer’s Association’s Economic Crimes Project, a role that has involved coordinating approaches to complex white-collar issues among defense lawyers. He also holds membership in the National Legislative Conference on Arson, where legal and investigative professionals gather to discuss policy and technical developments related to fire investigation and related prosecutions.
Community and institutional ties are part of Brown’s profile. He sits on the Board of Directors of Adath Jeshuran Synagogue and is listed as a member of its Board of Trustees. Those roles reflect ongoing engagement with civic and congregational governance, and they add a nonlegal dimension to the responsibilities he balances alongside practice and professional association work.
Colleagues describe Brown as steady and experienced in courtroom settings as well as in preparatory stages of litigation. He has spent many years representing clients before Pennsylvania courts and working on matters that require careful attention to procedural detail and evidentiary issues. His involvement in the Economic Crimes Project suggests a sustained interest in cases involving alleged financial wrongdoing and the procedural complexities those cases present.
Through his partner role at Brookman, Rosenberg, Brown & Sandler, Brown continues to handle client matters, mentor younger attorneys and participate in the governance of the firm. He remains active in professional circles tied to white-collar defense and arson-related legislative discussion. He currently practices in Pennsylvania and concentrates his work on criminal defense and related civil matters.
